Her creativ- ity and critical insights guided me and helped to shape this disser- tation. It is not possible to think about these last five years without also remembering her encouraging words and gestures. I am also grateful to Professor Michael Greenebaum for the in- tellectual stimulus which provided me with a desire to strive for excellence. Professor Sheldon Goldman, political scientist, has served as a source of inspiration also, and I am grateful to him for his support and constant interest in this project. The Berkshire Hills Regional School District School Committee granted me a sabbatical from my teaching duties for the school year 1977-78 and, in so doing, enabled me to carry on my research for this evaluative study. I thank them for making the time available to me. The Anti -Defamation League of B'nai B'rith was kind enough to lend moral and financial support. Sally Powell, a graduate student at the University of Massachu- setts, was an invaluable consultant in the area of statistics. Her skills and understanding helped me gain access to the language of the computer and statistical analyses. And for her patient attention to detail I want to praise the skilled typist of this manuscript and the several drafts that pre- ceded it. Marion Grossetti has performed a mighty task. Last, but never least my family, husband and children, deserve special recognition. It is not possible to express adequately the v Joy and richness that Alan, Jonas, and Sarah provided throughout this project. Not only am I grateful for the help and support of the people mentioned earlier, but also I want to express thanks to friends, colleagues, and others who in a number of ways transmitted concern for my work and an interest in the goals of education expressed herein. vi ABSTRACT An Evaluative Study of a Unit Based on the Nazi Holocaust: triplications for the Design of Interdisciplinary Curricula (September 1979) Roselle Kline Chartock, B.S., Skidmore College M.A., Hunter College, Ed.D. , University of Massachusetts Directed by: Professor Judithe Speidel The secondary schools responsible for educating our future prob- lem solvers do not, for the most part, offer courses that facilitate interdisciplinary thinking. Perhaps this situation exists because most high school curricula are structured departmentally with subjects organized into separate disciplines. Consequently, students have little or no opportunity for learning about relationships among the various components of these separate subject areas or for learning how to synthesize methods and ideas from various disciplines in order to solve problems. This study deals with a unit based on the Nazi Holocaust, an example of an interdisciplinary curriculum that utilizes a convergence approach. Through the use of evaluative instruments the researcher tried to determine what changes in students' learning and attitudes occurred as a result of the unit and to describe what teaching approaches were used. The instruments were designed to help answer four research questions: l) What are students learning as a result of exposure to an interdisciplinary curriculum? 2) Can the teaching of an interdisciplinary unit help students apply interdiscip- linary concepts and problem-solving approaches to historical and con- temporary issues as well as to their own lives? 3) What changes in vii — attitude results? U) What are the characteristics and methodologies Of those teachers who are implementing the unit? The pre- and post-tests consisted of two attitude scales, one measuring anti-Semitic attitudes, the other measuring anti-democratic attitudes, and four knowledge or essay questions designed to measure the students' ability to integrate ideas from several perspectives in order to explain and resolve historical and contemporary problems. The tests were given to l6U students in an experimental group that received the Holocaust treatment and to 78 students in a population which did not receive instruction related to the unit. Four teachers were involved in the instruction of the unit and in the administration of the tests to the experimental group. They were interviewed both before and after the implementation of the seven-week unit on their teaching objectives, backgrounds and atti- tudes, and methodologies. Students in the experimental group demonstrated a gain in mean scores on all four knowledge questions from pre- to post-test. This group showed a significantly greater gain (at the .01 level) than did the control group on the essay question dealing with the Holocaust as approached from an interdisciplinary perspective. An F-test to determine the degree of variance between the two groups on the pre-test showed the two groups —experimental and control not to be significantly different in attitude on both scales. The dif- ference between the two groups on the post-test attitudes toward Jews, however, was shown to be significant at the .01 level, indicating a re- duction in anti-Semitic attitudes on the part of the experimental group. viii On the anti-democratic attitudes scale no significant increase or de- crease in scores occurred from pre- to post-test. I„ reference to the effects of intervening variables on attitude gain, an F-test shoved that when sex was entered alone and looked at for its affect on more positive attitudes tovard Jevs . there vas a significant difference be- tveen males and females in the experimental group, females shoving a greater increase in tolerance. Above average students (based on social studies achievement tests and grade point averages) vithin only the experimental group demon- strated a significantly greater increase in knovledge than the average students, vhereas the average group decreased significantly on the anti Semitism scale. The information gained from this study can be useful to teachers and/or administrators in restructuring curricula so that more attempts to integrate the disciplines can be stimulated, thereby providing stu- dents with more opportunities to better understand and possibly solve a wide range of problems by using the convergence approach. Specializi tion is necessary if we are to push forward the frontiers of knowledge but most modern social problems cut across traditional disciplines. Causes, effects, and solutions are to be discovered only through the probing and synthesis of a number of academic specialties. The chal- lenge now lies in making the collaboration between traditional program- ming and interdisciplinary studies more systematic and widespread. ix . TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENT .

  • Genetics and Politics in the Soviet Union: Trofim Denisovich Lysenko in the 1930S, Forced Collectivization of Farms in the Soviet Union Reduced Harvests
    HGSS: Genetics, Politics, and Society. © 2010, Gregory Carey 1 Genetics, Politics, and Society Eugenics Origins Francis Galton coined the word eugenics in his 1883 book Inquiries into Human Faculty and Its Development. The term itself derives from the Greek prefix eu (ευ) meaning good or well and the Greek word genos (γενοσ) meaning race, kind or stock. In 1904, Galton gave a presentation to the Sociological Society in London about eugenics. His presentation, along with invited public commentary, appeared in the American Journal of Sociology (Galton, 1904a) with virtually identical versions (sans commentary) appearing in Nature (Galton, 1904b) and, with commentary, in Sociological Papers (Galton, 1905). In these papers, he defined eugenics as “the science which deals with all influences that improve and develop the inborn qualities of a race.” (It is crucial to recognize that the word “race” was used at that time in an eQuivocal fashion. It could denote the term as we use it today, but it could also refer to a human ethnic group or nationality—e.g., the English race—or even a breed of horse or dog. Galton himself meant it in the generic sense of “stock.”) Galton’s view of the future combined fervor with caution: I see no impossibility in eugenics becoming a religious dogma among mankind, but its details must first be worked out sedulously in the study. Overzeal leading to hasty action would do harm, by holding out expectations of a near golden age, which will certainly be falsified and cause the science to be discredited. By “the study” Galton was referring to academic research.

Wen the fiduciary is a doctor or a lawyer, and the entrustor is a patient or client, this harm frequently goes unremedied. Be- trayals arise out of disloyalty and conflicts of interest where the lawyer or doctor puts his or her interest above that of his or her client or patient. They cause digni- tary harm that is different from the harm flowing from negligent malpractice. Nevertheless, courts, concerned with overdeterrence, have for the most part refused to allow a separate claim for betrayal. In this Article, we suggest that betrayal de- serves a remedy and propose a new statutory tort with limits on the available money damages.

  • Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine Free

The album, which features a heavily synth-driven electronic sound blended with industrial and rock elements, bears little resemblance to the band's subsequent work. Conversely, much like the band's later Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine, the album's lyrics contain themes of angst, betrayal, and lovesickness. The record was promoted with the singles " Down in It ", " Head Like a Hole ", and " Sin ", as well as the accompanying tour. A remastered edition was released in Although the record was successful, reaching No. Pretty Hate Machine was later certified triple-platinum by RIAAbecoming one of the first independently released albums to do so, and was included on several lists of the best releases of the s. During working nights as a handyman and engineer at the Right Track Studio in ClevelandOhioReznor used studio "down-time" to record and develop his own music. The sequencing was done on a Macintosh Plus. With the help of manager John Malm, Jr. Reznor received contract offers from many of the labels, but eventually signed with TVT Recordswho were known mainly for releasing novelty and television jingle records.

There's nothing funny about it. But survival, and what it takes to survive, there can be humor in that.” -Rob Reiner, Director “I am…privy to many of the films that are released on a yearly basis about the Holocaust. I cannot think of one project that has taken the approach of THE LAST LAUGH. THE LAST LAUGH dispels the notion that there is nothing new to say or to reveal on the subject because this aspect of survival is one that very few have explored in print and no one that I know of has examined in a feature documentary.” -Richard Tank, Executive Director at the Simon Wiesenthal Center SHORT SYNOPSIS THE LAST LAUGH is a feature documentary about what is taboo for humor, seen through the lens of the Holocaust and other seemingly off-limits topics, in a society that prizes free speech.

  • Acts of Identity: a Political Theory of Biography
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Acts of Identity: A Political Theory of Biography A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by William Samuel Stahl 2018 Ó Copyright by William Samuel Stahl 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Acts of Identity: A Political Theory of Biography by William Samuel Stahl Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Joshua F. Dienstag, Chair My dissertation, Acts of Identity: A Political Theory of Biography, is prompted by the puzzle: why have so many political theorists shown interest in the genre of biography, seemingly such a private and apolitical genre? I answer that biography is a powerful lens through which to analyze the link between individual identity formation and political action. I develop this answer through four chapters that engage with a selection of political theorists who have written biographic works. In the first chapter, I examine Hannah Arendt’s claim that human beings are unlike other living things because each one of us develops a unique identity from the singularity of our biography. For her, who we are – and what makes us human – is what we say and do. In chapter two, I analyze Giorgio Agamben’s challenge to Arendt: he concludes that what makes us human is not what we say or do, but what we have the potential to do. This implies that our biography does not define who we are or make us human. I agree with the latter implication, but not the former. While the form of human life may not be biographic, individual identity is.

  • The Trolley Problem and the Dropping of Atomic Bombs Masahiro Morioka*
    Journal of Philosophy of Life Vol.7, No.2 (August 2017):316-337 The Trolley Problem and the Dropping of Atomic Bombs Masahiro Morioka* Abstract In this paper, the ethical and spiritual aspects of the trolley problem are discussed in connection with the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. First, I show that the dropping of atomic bombs was a typical example of the events that contained the logic of the trolley problems in their decision-making processes and justifications. Second, I discuss five aspects of “the problem of the trolley problem;” that is to say, “Rarity,” “Inevitability,” “Safety Zone,” “Possibility of Becoming a Victim,” and “Lack of Perspective of the Dead Victims Who Were Deprived of Freedom of Choice,” in detail. Third, I argue that those who talk about the trolley problem are automatically placed in the sphere of the expectation of response on the spiritual level. I hope that my contribution will shed light on the trolley problem from a very different angle, which has not been made by our fellow philosophers. 1. Introduction Brian Short writes a concise explanation of a standard type of the trolley problem in a recent issue of the LSA Magazine. You’re standing next to a train track when you spot a locomotive approaching. Farther down the track are five people in the path of the train but too far away for you to shout a warning to them. A lever next to you would allow you to divert the train – saving the lives of five people – onto a track with only one person standing on it.

  • Teenagers in the Holocaust
    Teenagers in the Holocaust When World War II enveloped Europe, children throughout the continent were impacted. Many children were sent to concentration camps while others became part of their country’s Resistance Movements, opposing Nazi orders and policies. Sometimes authors use the story of real children to write historical novels. Sometimes the real stories are as compelling as the fictional ones. Take Shadow on the Mountain, for example. Espen, the main character, is based on Erling Storrusten. Who was he? What role did he play during the war? When Germany invaded Norway, Erling’s country, he decided to fight back. Sixteen at the time of the invasion, in 1940, Erling became a courier for distributing forbidden and illegal underground newspapers. As time went by, and Erling grew older during the war, he took-on more resistance responsibilities. During one key event, he pretended to be who he was not in order to gain entrance into Germany’s headquarters in Lillehammer, Erling’s home town. He was able to draw the layout of the headquarters, then turn that important document over to Resistance leaders. When the German secret police, the Gestapo, learned Erling’s identity, he had to flee Norway. Traveling hundreds of miles over five days, mostly on skis, he reached safety in Sweden. Margi Preus has retold Erling’s story in Shadow on the Mountain. Joan Wolf takes a similar approach in her story Someone Named Eva. Although she doesn’t have a specific character on which to model her heroine, Wolf uses the events of a town called Lidice as the backdrop of her tale.
